Madame X (Rainbow Picture Disc) [VINYL]

Madonna ensures that all her albums are different. The same applies here. I don't get the negativity from some surrounding this album. The vibe is latin - she made it clear that was the case since saying her latest stuff was inspired by Portugal and its music. Medellin is a good opener but the album gets better as it progresses. Dark Ballet is, in my opinion the weak link, it's as if Beautiful Game was recorded, got tired of but was included because fans wanted it to be, but it sounds like a half finished song that just needed something but nobody could decide what.God Control is fabulous. "We lost God Control" sings a choir in the style of Like A Prayer but with a 70's Disco beat a la Michael Jackson. Future is a good track and Batuka is simple and quite sweet while being rhythmic and drum lead. Killers Who Are Partying is a bit of self indulgence, it's as if she has chosen a chocolate in a bag of sweets but didn't really enjoy it. Crave is in my opinion, a bit uninspiring and is there just for the sake of it. I liked Crazy because it reminded me of Cheris and True Blue. Come Alive is a highlight and Extreme Occident is a nice ballad. Faz Gostoso is a good song and Bitch I'm Loca builds us up to the end of the album with possibly the three strongest tracks. I Don't search, I find is house trippy and Looking For Mercy is one of her strongest ballads. I Rise concludes a flowing, cohesive album and the style suits Madonna. If you are expecting True Blue MkII then you are not going to be happy. If you expect a stand alone Madonna album that is full of acoustic and rhythm then you'll like this album. I think it's her best album for over a decade and is miles ahead of the disjointed Rebel Heart that had no flow or theme. A great album.

Absolutely genius, this was always going to be the best of this decade...I still want this lady to be totally given the respect of the same status as the male counterpartsShe has grown into an amazing artist :, we have never been so reluctant to lavish her with the most important artist of all timeThink , just joint first place with the 15 year career of the Beatles,She is nevertheless used to doing twice as much as the next artist , that’s all I can think of - as she is a true artist and a person ,Who has opinions, big massive, huge bollocksed opinions that are beyond the average joe in intelligence.But again, she is still her naive student in big Apple,She has been so much more than an artist,The ultimate ledgendary MADONNA,Is it true that vinyl is worth more with the 1st record having the best typeoSide A is side B and vice versa .???Anyway I just wanted to tell someone that I’m really as cool as the artist .....

100% great music

A Brilliant & often superb body of work by the queen of pop & Reinvention. Madame ❌ has many layers & goes much deeper than she's ever gone before & tackles many World issues & injustices with honesty, solidarity & hope. There are so many flavours & sounds on this album & sometimes a dozen twists & turns in just one song...so many different styles, instruments, sounds & treatments, means more than one version of each song could have been released & i wonder what MX would have looked like in a different/classic mix. It's gonna take a while to hear & appreciate it all & I look foward to this new journey & every intreging New song & chapter. Well done Madonna... MX Is the reason Artist need to keep evolving & creating 💎❤️🙏❌🎧

Madonna never fails to keep her sound up to date. Each time she releases a new album, it becomes my favourite of hers. I Love this album, but I took a few listens. They do say a great record grows on you over time, and if you’re initially not impressed, please stick with it, as the songs will slowly sink into you consciousness and you’ll appreciate them. Stand out tracks for me are, ‘Crave’, ‘Living For Mercy’ (available on the Deluxe edition), Medellin’, ‘Crazy’ and ‘Future’.Madonna’s voice sounds really fresh and well delivered. She is flexing her vocal chords here, and demonstrating she can sing well, occasionally using auto-tune for a dramatic and artistic effect, rather than to correct her tone.

Madonna does not disappoint with her new album Madame X. Whilst there isn’t the obvious sounding hit, what this does have is many thought provoking songs that hit you with something new each time.Now that she doesn’t have to chase the top 10 singles chart or Radio 1 airplay, she can make the music she wants to. Fans of 80s Madonna will probably not like it. People who aren’t fans anyway won’t like it but the rest of us, who expect her to not play by the rules, will love it.She wrote the rule book near 40 years ago and now she’s writing the new rule on how to still be going strong whilst others just rely on the past.
